Wine of the Week: New Kicker Cane!

New wines are arriving all the time at our stores. But if you’re a California cab lover, then we’ve got four new bottles you need to put on your radar.

Kicker Cane wines showcase the great Cabernet Sauvignons of California. Each is made in a different region – Rutherford, in the Napa Valley; Sonoma County; the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County; and a blend from Napa and Sonoma counties – and offers its own distinctive take on the variety.

Kicker Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
750ml, California
Bold blackberries, cherries and creme de cassis held together by balanced oak drive this wine. Alexander Valley terroir shines through with the depth and complexity it gives this cabernet.

Kicker Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Napa-Sonoma
750ml, California
Napa structure and power combined with Sonoma mouthfeel and texture define this complex cabernet. Notes of vanilla and spices from the oak act as the glue and bring this bold, intense wine together.

Kicker Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford
750ml, California
A wine of place, this power house delivers classic notes of black fruit, coffee, creme de casis and a “Rutherford Dust” minerality. A fruit-driven wine that is all about complexity of fruit and Rutherford, Napa terroir.

Kicker Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma750ml, California
An excellent example of Sonoma Cabernet that is luscious and smooth with a lot of dark fruit. Powerful yet not over-extracted or clumsy, this shows that Sonoma Cabernets are more than just values, they stand on their own.

These wines are available now at your local Total Wine & More. Stop in and pick up a bottle or two for the weekend, or head to our website to shop how and when you want with free one-hour express pickup.

Nice post! I live in Napa and was not aware of this wine. Yes, there are 500 wineries or so and it’s hard to keep up, which is why I am always appreciative of stores that offer the “hidden gems.” Check out our California wine country blog at http://www.topochinesvino.com and follow us if you like what you see.

Thanks for the comment and for sharing your blog. Be on the lookout for our team this week as 50+ are traipsing through Napa Valley visiting wineries! As a local, what are your favorite wineries you like visiting that tourists may not be aware of?

Some favorites: Ehlers (north of St Helena), Salvestrin, Grgich Hills, Robert Sinskey, HdV (partnership between Larry Hyde and Aubert de Villaine, who makes the DRC wine in Burgundy). Are you open to finding new wines? My neighbor makes a great Merlot, Cab and blend and relies 100% on direct-to-consumer to move his 1300 cases (he is zoned residential and doesn’t have a visit permit). http://www.cranefamilyvineyards.com/

Great wineries all. The Salvestrins were very kind and hosted our team on a recent visit. We’re always looking for new partners. The best way to kick off the process is if they submit their information on this form: https://form.jotform.com/53274063081147
